|
Leaving Paris Montparnasse... |
|
... and approaching Paris Gare de Lyon |
|
The pantographs of an Atlantique |
|
Rrrrooooaaaarrrrrr! With full force and 200 km/h through Mouthiers sur Boëme (Charente, France).... |
|
... *smile*, what a shy train, look, it is hiding...! ;-) |
|
What a power, the Atlantique can even climb such steep ascents... ;-) |
|
Place like in the pic above is Mouthiers sur Boëme, and two TGV-A crossing the viaduct of Coutaubières |
|
Nr. 326 and 324 coupled in Bordeaux St. Jean. Maybe the TGV behind them is the world record holder nr. 325 ?!? |
|
Again in Bordeaux, two TGV-Atlantique... |
|
...next to each other in the station |
|
A TGV-A ready for departure |
|
The powercar |
|
In Angoulême, the nose of a TGV-Atlantique... |
|
...running as a double unit... |
|
...and its rear powercar |
|
Here the TGV-Atlantique comes rushing out of a tunnel... |
|
...also as a double unit, near Angoulême! |
|

While it is night at the bridge over the river Garonne in Bordeaux, an Atlantique passes by. One can spot the higher windows of the passenger compartement behind the powercar and the LED-lights at the end of the train. |

Entrance, elegant as always, to Bordeaux! |
|
Who can find the Atlantique running through this beautiful landscape near Bordeaux? ;-) |
|
Travelling with the TGV-A, marsupilud banned this panorama onto a photo, in Beauce (south of Paris) |
|
Off the bike and right into the TGV! Seen in the station of Tours |

Passing by near Lermont, a double unit shining nicely in the sunlight! |
|
A bunch of TGV-Atlantique waiting for their next services,... |
|
... as seen at the depot Châtillon! |
|
Leaving to Paris Montparnasse |
|
Obviously there was someone in a good mood while doing maintenance work :-) ! |
|
A very special TGV-Atlantique in Angoulême, because this is trainset Nr. 325 which set the World Record in 1990! |
